Unlike mere multi-conferences these three federated conferences join in their respective approaches to advance the state of the art in science and industry, and have in common the rigorous scientific study of the inherently distributed, pervasive and ubiquitous nature of modern computing systems both physical and virtual.
The conferences share at least three critical research vectors, yet typically cover them differently. They are (1) theory —e.g. study of underlying scientific formalisms; (2) linking to a conceptual level —e.g. meaningful methodology or semantic interpretation of issues; and (3) fundamental study of applicability for specific uses (e.g. proofs of concept, case studies and industrial best practices). Note all federated  events of OnTheMove, including its workshops, are expressions of the shared powerful effects of the technology- and application-pull created by the Web, it obviously being the world's most evident distributed computing environment. Contributions that describe, illustrate or exploit the emergent synergies are therefore especially welcome.
